Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Heads-up on a flop of Q♣K♦9♠, Mehdi Senhaji bet 40,000 from the button and Leo Worthington-Leese called in the big blind.

Senhaji showed K♣9♥ for two pair, but Worthington-Leese had flopped the nuts with J♠10♣. Senhaji was left needing to fill up on the river to survive, and he spiked the 9♦ as he walked away from the table with his hands on his head in disbelief while Worthington-Leese calmly handed over most of his stack.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Virgile Turchi opened to 30,000 in the hijack, and Vitezslav Cech flat-called in the cutoff. David Hu then pushed his 330,000 over the line on the button, and Fabian Bartuschk rejammed for 880,000 in the big blind.

Turchi and Cech had seen enough and folded in quick succession, leaving the other players to show down.

David Hu: A♦Q♦ All in
Fabian Bartuschk: 9♠9♣

Hu flopped best in the big flip when 8♠8♥A♥ emerged from the deck. Bartuschk did not find a nine on the 10♠5♠ runout, seeing Hu double up to a stack of nearly 50 big blinds.
